The continual flow of legal and illegal, skilled and unskilled migrants across U.S. borders fueled the debate over immigration's economic consequences. At stake, according to pundits, were millions of low-wage jobs and the benefits of government transfer programs. Some critics may have worried about matters such as cultural integration and a 'language gap,' but in general, it was all about the money....Yet more recently, immigration to the United States has found another highly relevant context: national security. Border control has increased dramatically since Sept. 11 [2001], and watchdog groups caution against potential violations of civil liberties." (HARVARD POLITICAL REVIEW) This article explores "the nature and impact of immigration around the globe" by addressing immigration issues in the United States and abroad ranging "from the rights and obligations of migrants, to the growth of multiple citizenship, to the Darfur refugee crisis in Sudan....the influx of Muslim immigrants to Europe, and the debate over restricting U.S. immigration to combat terrorism."| Item type | Current location | Call number | Status | Date due |
